While these links are extremely technical with medical jargon, it is possible for the non medically trained person to see just how difficult it is to diagnose and treat the disease.It is even almost impossible given it takes about two weeks of testing to determine if a person is infected when they are in the asymptotic stage of the disease but still are a potent transmitter of it. What we have here is the potential for a nationwide epidemic of the proportions greater and more deadly than the Spanish Influenza epidemic that decimated America right after WWI.
We must seriously start asking the media why they are neglecting their duty to report on this potential health threat to all Americans. Consider this, The DEATH RATE for this disease is more than 50% and evenapproaches 66% in some cases ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberculosis )and it is estimated that over ONE THIRD of the WORLDS Population is currently infected.
It's way past time for us to start challenging the Lap Dog Press over this issue, and to severely chastise our Congressional Reps., for ignoring the threat to American Health. We need to organize ourselves and create a major direct postcard and Fax mailing campaign to flood the offices of the Main Stream Media, Congress, and the State Legislatures about this issue. We could even try and gain support from Local Politicians and Newspapers in this endeavor. Let them know, should a major outbreak happen, even they are at risk just as much as the rest of the American population.
I formally request that everyone who reads this try to fully vett all the information for themselves, and post their findings.
